Saving .cda audio files to .wma

When saving an audio file from the CD to my hard drive it gets saved as a
..cda file. How do I convert that to a .wma extension?

Thanks

 

There are no CDA files. What you see are links to tracks on audio CDs. The
process of copying the tracks from an audio CD to computer files like WMA or
MP3 is known as ripping. There is a a RIP tab on the player and you can read
the help file about the process.

 

Mike, thanks for the reply but I must not be doing something right because
when I take my audio CD I want to be able to save those audio tracks as .wma
or .wav's on my hard drive. I don't want to save in a Windows Media Player
library file.

Do I need to be using a seperate program (i.e. Roxio or Nero) to achieve
that? And if so, which burn program do you prefer/recommend?

Thanks again.

 

No tracks are stored inside the library. The library is an index of files on
your disk. Did you read the help topics as suggested?

Burning is the opposite of ripping. You don't have to do it with the same
program. WMP does ripping reasonably well but does burning badly.
